One season after recording 162 tackles in 11 games, three-star inside linebacker Richie Brown of Long Beach (Miss.) is on pace to top that total -- even though offenses are giving him lots of attention.

"Last week, they were sending two and three blockers at me," Brown said. "I got triple-teamed on one of their scoring plays. They had two guards and a fullback coming at me. They triple-teamed me two or three times. I was double-teamed most of the game."
